Popular Post HMC Posted May 14, 2020 Author Popular Post Share Posted May 14, 2020 I have done a buy. Always wanted one since as long as I can remember. Especially a basically doubly cursed VDP. Anyway, I promise to get more detailed photos of the picnic tables when it arrives! DVee8, Angrydicky, NorfolkNWeigh and 64 others 67 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wuvvum Posted May 14, 2020 Share Posted May 14, 2020 Superb! And an automatic for even more misery! I'm going to be the only person on the forum without any BL tat at this rate. Stevebrookman and cobblers 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Step this way sir.... @HMC, was that the only BL tat for sale from wherever you obtained it from? I only ask because someone I know in North Devon has only today bought a very minty looking Maxi.

BeEP Posted May 15, 2020 Share Posted May 15, 2020 E-series auto. Consult your calender before pulling away from T-junctions ? I had the same in a regular Allegro; it did have a certain charm, although it acquired the name Uriah (think Dickens)...

anonymous user Posted May 15, 2020 Share Posted May 15, 2020 I do like a VP Allegro, I'm now in the original target market for them (old git who would like a bit of comfy, but in a small car) see also Renault 5 Monaco Skizzer and HMC 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrumpiusMaximus Posted May 15, 2020 Share Posted May 15, 2020 VDP Allegro. Lovely lovely. There's one around Ashford (Kent) that I used to see quite regularly. Bizarre but with a charm all of its own. HMC 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BorniteIdentity Posted May 15, 2020 Share Posted May 15, 2020 There really ought to be some sort of warning before you drop content like that. Even the IRA had the courtesy to "phone ahead". Utterly brilliant. I love @Six-cylinder's - I' spent hours just looking at it. Stroking it. I'm enjoying "Life on Mars" again at the moment and there's a lot of Allegro content in there which has been getting me quite hot and bothered of an evening. A great purchase.

Guilty, ours came with the Autobox broken and I found fixing it was a major challenge because of lack of parts. I took the opportunity to convert it to manual because of my experience driving AP box Minis and an 1100. LightBulbFun and Mrs6C 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
